Shall we write a new editorial? Who needs a damn editorial let alone a new one? Who needs Organ for that matter? Brave said yer man. No time for editorials, let the actual music do the actual walking and the actual talking while we play catch up with it all. Exact same thing as last time once again, another five (or so) slices of music that have passed our way recently cherry picked for your delight and however you like to slice it and of course it was the price of pears and here comes the editorial.

Five? There’s something rather compelling about five. Cross-pollination? Five more? Is there another way? A better way? A cure for pulling flying swordfish out of the clouds? Is there a rhyme? Is there a reason? Was there ever a reason? What do reasons make? Five more? Cake oil? Snake oil? Everything must go somewhere and no, we never do and the proof of the pudding is in that proof reading. When we started this thing, oh never mind, it doesn’t matter why we started this damn thing, we never should have done and like we asked last time, does anyone bother reading the editorial? Does anyone ever actually look down the rabbit hole or is it all just method acting? We do really try to listen to everything that comes in, we do it so you don’t have to, we are very (very) very very picky about what we actually post on these fractured pages or about what gets played on the radio or indeed what we hang in a gallery. Cut to the chase, never mind the editorial, skip this bit, there’s music further down the page, five or so pieces of music that have come our way in the last few days and what’s Wordsworth? Just the basic facts and links and those sounds (and visuals), that’s surely all you need from us?

Here we go, five more slices of music that have recently come our way, this time we start with something more from Brighton..

1: Poly-Math have something new, that is of course always good news. The instrumental Prog/Math band from Brighton always sound good, this sounds slightly different though, a little less on the Math rock thing and a little more out there with the experimental almost Space Rock flavours, a freer feeling maybe? Is this where they’re going with next year’s new album?

“The Halting Problem EP was originally a selection of short drum loops recorded in between takes during the recording sessions for Poly-Math’s 2026 album, Something Deeply Hidden. Each loop was later arranged into a complete piece of music. To help add dynamics and range to the EP, a comprehensive range of percussion was added, shaping the sound and feel of the The Halting Problem and marking a new direction in Poly-math’s sound. The Halting Problem is more experimental than most Poly-Math records. There is a greater focus on improvisational solos, and in general each track explores each motif to a fuller degree, creating longer more sprawling pieces than the band would normally write”.

Previously – ORGAN THING: Poly-Math, Thumpermonkey and A Formal Horse at Signature Brew, Blackhorse Road, Walthamstow, more of everything…

2: Papir – This is a rather blissfully beautiful first taste of Copenhagen band Papir’s new album…

“Copenhagen’s foremost aural travelers are back and bearing new music. True to their distinct sound, Papir return with another chapter in their ongoing sonic journey. Terms like post-rock, ambient rock, psychedelia, and krautrock may circle their sound, but none quite capture its shimmering, elusive magic” so reads the blurb on their Bandcamp page, they need to menation Soul on there as well, Soul and soul, they have buckets of it on this first taste, we look forward to more. The album is out on November 21st…

3: Fältsånger – Another first taste, this time a taste of the debut studio album from Fältsånger. A taste of the Northern English band’s rather rich rather mellow electronic psychedelia. More via their Bandcamp, the album is out on November 28th…

4: Maddie Ashman – “Hello! I am a composer and songwriter from London. I love writing microtonal music- in particular, I am fascinated by the resonance and unlimited possibilities of just intonation (pure tuning). I love writing music that is genre-fluid, and I love challenging the boundaries of instruments. I’m interested in the ‘unspoken’, ‘what ifs’ and ‘unexpected’.” – Find more on Bandcamp

5: Dead Finks – “Stalwart Berlin post-punks Dead Finks return with a new single, Eden, which, like their  antecedents The Fall, finds them settling into an “always the same, always different” approach”. And yes, we are jsut sharing things here, cherry picking our way through the hundreds of pieces of music sent in our direction every week, passing on the informantion, the sign posts, the links

“The music blares exuberantly, of course, but this time the Finks have increased their emphasis on clarity and dynamics, tempering their palette with shimmering guitars and warped shoegazy textures, anchored to a lockstep rhythm and an all-timer example of their penchant for a bratty, singalong chorus. Picture the bruised snarl of In Utero if it was tracked by someone with Scott Walker’s sense of drama, or the Jesus Lizard trying to have a conversation with Broadcast. Eden serves as the first taste from a forthcoming Dead Finks LP, their fourth, to be released by Bretford Records in 2026″.

And while we’re here, something from an album made in 2005…
